Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method for information acquisition, comprising: determining hardware devices located on a to-be-processed node in response to determining that a trigger condition is met; selecting an x processing unit (XPU) from the hardware devices; and acquiring predetermined information of the XPU by using a system management interface (SMI) management tool corresponding to the XPU, the predetermined information comprising model information of the XPU, wherein the determining hardware devices located on a to-be-processed node comprises: acquiring the hardware devices located on the to-be-processed node by calling a list peripheral component interconnect device information (lspci-vv) command, wherein the method further comprising: acquiring vendor identifications of the hardware devices respectively by calling the lspci-vv command; and acquiring the SMI management tool corresponding to the XPU according to a vendor identification of the XPU.

2

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the acquiring the SMI management tool corresponding to the XPU according to a vendor identification of the XPU comprises: selecting the SMI management tool corresponding to the XPU from a pre-saved management tool list according to the vendor identification of the XPU, the management tool list comprising different vendor identifications and SMI management tools corresponding thereto respectively.

3

3. The method according to claim 2, further comprising: recording the predetermined information on the to-be-processed node.

4

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the acquiring predetermined information of the XPU by using an SMI management tool corresponding to the XPU comprises: acquiring text information corresponding to the XPU by using the SMI management tool corresponding to the XPU, the text information comprising introduction information of the XPU; and extracting the predetermined information from the text information by regular matching.

5

5. The method according to claim 4, further comprising: recording the predetermined information on the to-be-processed node.

6

6. The method according to claim 1, further comprising: recording the predetermined information on the to-be-processed node.

7

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the determining that a trigger condition is met comprises: determining that the trigger condition is met in response to determining that a predetermined cycle duration has elapsed.

8

8. The method according to claim 1, further comprising: recording the predetermined information on the to-be-processed node.

9

9. The method according to claim 1, further comprising: recording the predetermined information on the to-be-processed node.

10

10. An electronic device, comprising: at least one processor; and a memory communicatively connected with the at least one processor; wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the at least one processor, and the instructions are executed by the at least one processor to enable the at least one processor to perform a method for information acquisition, wherein the method comprises: determining hardware devices located on a to-be-processed node in response to determining that a trigger condition is met; selecting an XPU from the hardware devices; and acquiring predetermined information of the XPU by using an SMI management tool corresponding to the XPU, the predetermined information comprising model information of the XPU, wherein the determining hardware devices located on a to-be-processed node comprises: acquiring the hardware devices located on the to-be-processed node by calling a list peripheral component interconnect device information (lspci-vv) command, wherein the method further comprising: acquiring vendor identifications of the hardware devices respectively by calling the lspci-vv command; and acquiring the SMI management tool corresponding to the XPU according to a vendor identification of the XPU.

11

11. The electronic device according to claim 10, wherein the acquiring the SMI management tool corresponding to the XPU according to a vendor identification of the XPU comprises: selecting the SMI management tool corresponding to the XPU from a pre-saved management tool list according to the vendor identification of the XPU, the management tool list comprising different vendor identifications and SMI management tools corresponding thereto respectively.

12

12. The electronic device according to claim 10, wherein the acquiring predetermined information of the XPU by using an SMI management tool corresponding to the XPU comprises: acquiring text information corresponding to the XPU by using the SMI management tool corresponding to the XPU, the text information comprising introduction information of the XPU; and extracting the predetermined information from the text information by regular matching.

13

13. The electronic device according to claim 10, further comprising: recording the predetermined information on the to-be-processed node.

14

14. The electronic device according to claim 10, wherein the determining that a trigger condition is met comprises: determining, in response to determining that a predetermined cycle duration has elapsed, that the trigger condition is met.

15

15. The electronic device according to claim 10, further comprising: recording the predetermined information on the to-be-processed node.

16

16. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium with computer instructions stored thereon, wherein the computer instructions are used for causing a method for information acquisition, wherein the method comprises: determining hardware devices located on a to-be-processed node in response to determining that a trigger condition is met; selecting an x processing unit (XPU) from the hardware devices; and acquiring predetermined information of the XPU by using a system management interface (SMI) management tool corresponding to the XPU, the predetermined information comprising model information of the XPU, wherein the determining hardware devices located on a to-be-processed node comprises: acquiring the hardware devices located on the to-be-processed node by calling a list peripheral component interconnect device information (lspci-vv) command, wherein the method further comprising: acquiring vendor identifications of the hardware devices respectively by calling the lspci-vv command; and acquiring the SMI management tool corresponding to the XPU according to a vendor identification of the XPU.
